someone who will “be there” for his or her care receiver, meeting faithfully for about an hour each week, for as long as there’s a need.

Stephen Ministers care for people facing tough times.

We all experience challenges in life—times when we could benefit from the support of a caring Christian friend. Stephen Ministers are ready to provide the emotional and spiritual care we need when faced with a crisis or difficulty such as:

Loss of a loved one

Hospitalization

Divorce or separation

Loneliness or discouragement

Spiritual crisis

Unemployment or a job crisis

A terminal illness

Incarceration

Aging

Birth, adoption, miscarriage, or infertility

A chronic illness

Relocation

Recovery after an accident or disaster

And many more

Stephen Ministry is a confidential ministry. The identity of those receiving care and what takes place in each caring relationship remain private.
